You know when you get a voicemail that says “watch for a package” that there’s something going on. Just yesterday a fine package of hot sauces arrived on my door step and while the Ex was out teaching a class, I excitedly tore into the goodies inside. It’s often said in the chilehead world that the hottest things come in the smallest packages and this little bottle of sauce is no exception. Made with the same method as the Killer Cayenne – this little bottle of mayhem contains Fatalli Chiles, Red Savina Chiles, Bhut Jolokia Chiles, Vinegar & Natural Flavoring.
Smell: Let’s just say, the next time you have a runny nose – get a bottle of this and give it a big whiff. And don’t expect to have any nose hairs remaining. It smells hot – it’s almost as if the bottle is radiating heat – but it’s a pure pepper smell. I smell the sweet & fruity Fatallis and Red Savinas and boy oh boy do they smell evil.
On Food: This is as close to live reviewing as it can get as this sauce is going straight on my morning bagel. I missed the chance to try it at dinner so I thought I’d bring it in to give it a whirl. And judging from the smell – I’d better reschedule my afternoon.
Just a few drops to start with – one drop per bite. Holy crap. One little drop of the sauce has lit me up. My tongue has started to sweat and my nose is running – no hiccup alarm yet though, so I’ll solider on. The heat from one little drop (no liquids) lasted a good 15-20 minutes. And when you take a second bite immediately after, the heat doesn’t just creep higher – it freaking leap frogs to the next level. Now my eyes are watering and I swear if an intern walks into my office right now, they’re going to think I’ve had a breakdown.
All you get is pure pepper painSo the heat is melting my mouth – but how does it taste? What is left of my tongue can taste the Fatallis and perhaps a hint of the Red Savinas – but more importantly, what I don’t taste is any hint of that wretched extract flavor. With this sauce, all you get is pure pepper pain (goodness). Two bites & two drops has me in tears – but yet I want more. This is one sauce that all chileheads will love and even if you aren’t a “heat head” you’ll certainly appreciate the pure pepper flavor. The work that CaJohn & Jim are doing with these new sauces is simply amazing – can’t wait to give the others a try!
Good news for those going to Fiery-Foods this weekend – CaJohn will have these at the show for purchase & sample.

Man, now I have to get me another bottle of this. The one I got at North Market CaJohn signed and wrote PROTO across the bottle. I don’t want to open that one. I took a finger “dab” of it after the wing contest, but I was so messed up from the sauces I had just injested that I couldn’t get a good heat reading from it. Sounds wicked hot though.
I did a video of this stuff for TTF, and lets say I don’t want to go to the place again even if it tastes good, which it does. I just wanted a hug from my Mama when I was done.
how can someone get there hands on some if they are not going to FFs? i have been dying to try the killer cayenne as well.
OOOH YEAH! This weekend can’t come soon enough!!!
OK, since the Cash-Trash is talkin’ smack about hot chipotle sauces, we’re bringing a bottle of the Killer Chipotle we are working on to slap him down. It’s still in development, but it IS pretty hot.
Uh oh…. Looks like I might have to bring a bottle of my “Salamagundy” to see how it holds up to the masters.
I didn’t know Devil Duck was a pirate…
[Comment ID #129607 Quote]What happened to FLAVOR WITH FIRE???
Probably not as hot as this Lethal Indigestion sauce…
It’s got plenty of flavor…before the fire!
No it’s not as hot as LI
I need to get me some of this HEAT!!
Killer Chipotle, oh man, sign me up! The Killer Cayenne and Jalapeno are awesome tasting hot sauces, and they do offer a bit of a delayed burn, and when they hit, they hit hard. I thought I was going to get arrested for child abuse when I gave a couple of drops to a 16 year old, and he ran and around screaming for about 15 minutes, and complained that his tongue was still burning an hour later. I laughed so hard. I offered him $2 to do it, and he spent $1.50 on chocolate milk to stop the burn. 😆 Worth every penny, tis a shame I didn’t catch it on film.
Wow – these all sound amazing!

[Comment ID #129608 Quote]mmmmmmm salami hot sauce….
Is there Bolongundy, i’m not so keen on the after taste of salami?
I brought a bottle of this to work. Got lots of “DEAR GOD THAT’S HOT” but pretty much everyone loved the flavor.
Now I just need to get it in quantity so I can build a jerky marinade around it.
I tried this twice last weekend straight off the taster spoon. OHH, the pepper pain with no extract taste. This is truly a dream come true!
[…] Heinz made hot sauce. And Tapatio? That’s like the preschool of the heat scale. What about Cajohn’s Lethal Ingestion? Or at least Sriracha? What a disappointment. In its defense, if the Hot Sauce Paradigm […]
